Describe your approach to teaching
Our approach is to offer practical and accessible guidance, in which students are guided to discover the materials. Supportive and playful, they create an environment for discovery.
What inspires your own work?
We are inspired by nature, animals and seed forms. Drawing with willow to create form, we connect with coppice communities and are deeply connected to ancient techniques of willow craft.
